Nightmare Neighbours - have you ever had one?

Not really a few years ago I sent a few tennis balls over the fence and he refused to give them back.

'Nightmare' neighbours ?....Nup. We've stayed in our current abode for 35 years and basically had no problems. Young couple moved in to one side of us 4 years ago and apart from one wee spat a couple of years ago things toddle along not too bad.

Was that the first time or the 100th ?

My previous neighbours (flat downstairs) were an absolute nightmare and I was down there on a weekly basis complaining about loud music.

Moved house now though and all is well.

Bought a house with an ex-partner years ago and had a spat with the older neighbours next door. They were in their 50s and would occasionally have really loud arguments fueled by alcohol. Like really loud. Anyways, one night I've got a few friends over and the lady from next door knocks on and lets fly with some expletives. If she had asked me nicely to pipe down I would have duly obliged but she didn't so I called her an alcy and told her to piss off. Her husband then proceeds to knock on the door so I told him there was no need for being sworn at considering the noise that they made quite frequently. It kind of fizzled out.

I then drunkenly squirted a bottle of bleach over their fence a couple of hours later. After that I didn't hear them argue and they were nice as pie to me.

Have a feeling we've sometimes been bad neighbours. We had a few complaints about music by a couple below us and one of the times I did act a dick by having it on full blast all night. The family who moved in after though were alright and never complained... they couldn't talk English though. I turned their gas off once which I think annoyed them, the guy was massive and could have killed me but chose not to which was kind. We flooded their flat too from the shower. Kind of miss them and we gave their kids some toys when we left so we're not all bad.

I blame the old flat though, the acoustics are much better in the new place and so I don't need to turn it up anywhere near as loud now.

I've never met my neighbors...

That's because you only exist on the Internet and not real life.

I bloody knew you'd be one of those bastard music-blasting, fuck-everyone-else-but-me neighbours.

You didn't happen to live in Holloway at any time in the last decade, did you!?

do you have any Epic ?

 

[Leo]

Even when I stayed with my parents before getting married there were never any problems whatsoever.....must have been very lucky.

 

[johnnytodd]

The caravan pitched next to us has a Brummie in it with his wife and his breath fucking stinks. Not really spoken to him much because i cant look him in the face tbh. His missus is sound enough but just walks in our caravan without knocking, i dont mind but the mrs says she's a swinger........i hope she is cos she has a lovely set of teeth.

In my house we only have one neighbour now and he is a kopite ( same as the last one) but he's from St helens and technically a wool so i have the moral high ground no matter what happens on derby days.

Yes we only ever talk about football on merseyside.

Haha. No not me. Other than the time mentioned I am not generally that bad and never have any parties. (No one would come) I never turn the sub up because I know it just rumbles and vibrates the whole house.

The acoustics in the old house were awful but in the new house music sounds good even at normal levels. I'll probably always fuck up a couple of times a year if I'm drunk but generally I try to be a good neighbour. It's frustrating when you like music that is just begging to be played loud.

 

[mowgli]

Had a few in my life that pissed me off The latest of which were evicted from the council house opposite me. Loud music,fights and feral kids were just some of the problems they caused. When the went the neighbours had a party to celebrate and luckily the new tenants are quiet and very nice people.

wee quick story along these lines......the wife and I detest 5th November, the 2 week build up and the days after it simply because these exploding fucking bombs which the shops call 'fireworks' scares the shit out of our cat and pets we've had in the past. Sooooo, one bonfire night a few years ago neighbours (who we actually get along fine with) decided to have a firework session in their back garden (we had hinted that we preferred that they didn't) which petrified our then pet dog. Now I like Rock Music so I got my DAB radio, put it out the back window and turned on Planet Rock at a very high volume, went back indoors and forgot about the radio. Done the trick......

I know what you mean Leo. my poor cat spends most of the time that fireworks start hiding under my bed and even food won't coax her out, inconsiderate bastards

My old neighbour fucked up a couple of times a week so I suppose you aren't all that bad!

Yes...

We've gone from a dodgy Chinese fella trying to sub-let his flat to any one moving (he was evicted once landlord was notified of this), to an Asian family who don't shut up. Loud arguments, 2 little kids banging up and down the flat at all hours, complaining about us making noise (we're genuinely quiet people, with the exception of when the missus broke her ankle so was having to hop around the flat to the toilet, had a noise complaint then too), and when we walk out into the hallway, they hide. Been a few occasions they've gone to open their front door, realised we're down there and hid, so they are clearly aware that they're twats. Also complained that the hallway smelt (which it did), and blamed us, turned out it was the bloke upstairs keeping a dog and he had fake grass down in the flat which the dog was pissing and shitting on that caused the smell.

For the record, yes, I have had a word with the landlord, fuck all has been done though.

But... The rent is cheap as hell (£325 a month), so I'll put up with it.

you aint got problems to seek Jase. A shower of noisy fuckers who blame you and a guy that stinks the area out ? Fuck me. I know it's no laughing matter but...............put fake grass down for the dog to shit on ? I had to have a giggle at that. What a mental c***!

Yeahhh... I'm happy enough, the landlord seems to have realised they're full of shit and leaves us to it now.

That scrap man down there lives in one of those apartments, right opposite my bedroom. He spends a lot of time sat outside fixing stuff. Problem is, he fixes most stuff by hitting it with a hammer. Another problem is some days he likes to start work at 7am.

Having said that, he probably only makes a few quid for each thing he fixes. He is annoying, but he's just trying to make ends meet as best he can I guess. I'd rather be being woken up by him than actually be him. And when he does wake me up at 7am, it means I get up and go get on with my day instead of wasting time in bed.

I've talked myself into thinking he's not all bad here.

He is still fucking annoying though.

 

[Abertawe]

That's the most mental thing I've ever heard. Someone put down fake grass but their dog to piss & shit on. Get the fuck outta there Jade.

That kinda reminds of the view from Jimmy Stewart's apartment in the film 'Rear Window'.

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

I had this neighbour who kept on banging on my walls at stupid hours at night. Luckily I always seemed to be awake and practicing my drums at the time so I didn't complain.

I'd be so tempted to throw a beef tomato directly at his head from that vantage point.

He was kicked out months ago, it's just the serial complainers left now.

I live on a quiet street with not much off road parking. A few neighbours seem to be trying to out do each other with who can buy the biggest car and block the road with it. I've got a parking space round the back of my place. Quick call to the council, double yellows painted and a bunch of dicks with nowhere to park their jeeps and range rovers.

 

[mistermagic]

Not nightmare material but the lad upstairs is very enthusiastic about playing fifa on his playstation. He also has quite timely arguments with his girlfriend/sister/mum/bitch not sure which occur at 2am. It's not every night but it is quite remarkable how accurate they are in their argument timetable. I hear a bit of fucking but I think the guy has a small dick.

Other than that, I had zero problem when living in Munich where I heard very few arguments and quite a bit of fucking. On my right an actual couple making the physical act shit and on my left, the single lady pleasing herself with a dildo. Good times.
